12 Years a Slave reviews
Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
Not physically though (you live too far). It was a reaction to one of your - several - childish lies, and you know that.
Anyway, this thread can be read by anyone. And anyone can judge.

I'd say Despicable Me 2 because I got some needed rest with that one - I slept through the whole thing.Eric wrote:Guys, I really feel we haven't given the question of whether Iron Man 3 or Despicable Me 2 is better its full due.
Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
I will be as direct, honest and straightforward as you always are, Eric, so I'm sure you'll appreciate it: those are exactly the kind of movies you should stick with in your life.

Well, in that case I wouldn't be here!

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
Plus, I don't see what's wrong about using Google to provide the links that you kept insisting I should provide. I tried not to do that, because usially an intelligent person doesn't need THAT to understand a point, but you weren't convinced, so what could I do? And now suddenly it's a "little Google search"!
Grow up, Flipp. Not for me. For you.

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
Well, it actually sounded more like a challenge... But no problem for me. One of the good things of being rational (or, let me say it, European) is that I never say something which isn't objective, which can't be proved.
But I mean - that this movie was considered by many to be the definitive film on slavery is obvious. One must have slept for the last few months even just to doubt this, come on...

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
I never said you were wrong (so, follows to suit, I won't be proclaiming you're right). All I asked was that you provide some back-up for you claim which your went on a little Google search to fetch for me. And, now you have. So, as they say, that is that.

Ok. I hate to do this, but here are just SOME of the links:

But there are really so many more... even not in the English language. All duly repeated here for the promotion of this movie.
Unlike you I am not a child. But for once, like you, I will act like one. Now you must say: Sorry, Italiano, you were right. Now.

That's not something I've ever said. That's not a comparison I've ever made, let alone thought.ITALIANO wrote:Flipp, when you call a movie the equivalent of Schindler's List for slavery, you are saying that it's the definitive word on slavery. You are implying it. It's clear to anyone - except you. Not surprisingly.
Also, when did anyone decide that Schindler's List is the "definitive" movie on the Holocaust, btw? Was it decided at some official tribunal?

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
You said that it was being sold as the "definitive" film on slavery. Calling something a masterpiece doesn't equate definitiveness. Those two words are not synonyms. So, again, provide some back-up for your claim. We'll wait.
Also, why this need to get personal? I very much live in this world.
